alaskanmommy Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Hi There. I'm almost finished with my Whole60 (first Whole30 and 60). I'm on day 54 and am suddenly very bloated, my pants feel a bit tighter and I feel as if I have gained 5 pounds in water weight. I had a small amount of bloating in the middle of my whole30 that went away on it's own. I haven't changed what I have been eating and just completed my time of the month. I drink lots of water. I have been taking magnesium. I have been pooping less than normal. I'm thinking about trying digestive enzymes but I think this would have come up before day 54. Does anyone have any ideas what could be causing this? I want to go on and do a Whole90.....but not if this continues and if I'm not going to see any results. Thanks much!!

jmcbn Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Can you give us a run down of what you've been eating over the last few days, with specific info on your meals (ie. don't just say '...and lots of veggies'..!) - that way we'll be better equipped to help you troubleshoot....

alaskanmommy Posted February 23, 2016 Author Share Posted February 23, 2016 Sure. Here's yesterdays meals: Breakfast: 3 soft boiled eggs, 1/2 avocado and 1.5 cups of celery Lunch: Roast chicken breast with mayo and broccoli Dinner: Roast chicken thigh,leg with roasted sweet potatoes in olive oil The day before that.... Breakfast: roast pork with 1/2 avocado and roasted carrots Lunch: 2 Aidell's chicken and apple sausage, broccoli and mayo/mustard Dinner: Roast chicken thigh,leg, with roasted Brussel sprouts and avocado. Two veggies I haven't had in a long time are the Brussels and celery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmcbn Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Yeah, the two veggies you haven't had in a long time are also high FODMAP - as are pretty much every veg you've listed with the exception of the carrots.And since FODMAPS have a cumulative effect on our bodies it may well be that the sprouts & celery pushed you over the edge.I'd be inclined to eat from the green list >here< (about half way down the page - have a read of the text though to understand what FODMAPs are) for the next few days & see how you go. If symptoms improve you can re-try all your usual veg again - maybe with the exception of the sprouts & celery! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
